Find every sample. Connect it to the right data. Ask the next question.
One governed platform for samples, clinical data and research files, with AI analysis over only the data each researcher is approved to use.
From the freezer to the answer.
Foundry120 is built for research that spans several sites and disease areas.
Sample and study tracking
Research data
AI-assisted discovery
Access and audit
Built for translational research teams and the institutions that support them.
For translational researchers
- See whether the samples exist before you plan the experiment
- Find each sample next to its clinical and scientific data
- Keep large sequencing and assay files in one place
For institutions and research operations
- Audit trails for sample handling, data access, and AI queries
- A common platform that can support studies across sites and disease areas
- Full ownership of your data, exportable as CSV or file downloads at any time
How Foundry120 was built.
Talk: a governed research operating system for translational science.

It started with our own studies.
Foundry120 came out of years of running multi-site IBD studies across Scotland, where sample inventories, clinical data, and results had to be lined up by hand. The platform is being extended to other domains including hepatology, oncology, and rheumatology.
Led by Professor Gwo-Tzer Ho at the School of Infection and Immunity, University of Glasgow. The group runs MUSIC, miniMUSIC, MARVEL, and FATE-CD, and has worked in IBD translational research for more than 20 years.
Interested in using Foundry120, or exploring a research collaboration?
We’d be glad to hear from research groups and institutions exploring the platform, or holding data that has outgrown spreadsheets and shared drives.
